North Peace MB Church 105n2y

In this sermon we study the parable of the sower and the soils. A farmer sows seed in 4 different types of soil, yielding 4 different responses. Their is a sober warning and an encouragement in this parable.

In week 1 of our brand new series on the parables of Jesus, Pastor Andrew answers 2 foundational questions: First, what is the kingdom of God? Second, why did Jesus teach using parables?

In this age we see Paul giving a farewell address to the church leaders in Ephesus. What does Paul focus on knowing he will never see these friends again. Paul emphasizes the truth, talks about all the tears they shed together and warns them of twisted things.

In this age we see Paul travelling and visiting churches he had planted to collect an offering for suffering Christians in Jerusalem. Paul loved the local church. As we think about our own lives do we love our church? How is this evidenced in our lives?

In this age we see a riot in Ephesus. As the gospel begins to change the city, what happens? We see evil oppose the gospel using chaos and confusion. In the midst of this what should Christians do?

In this sermon Richard Koop walks us through Acts 19:1-10. In it we see the greatness of our God and his power at work in Ephesus.

In this sermon Pastor Andrew shares 3 things: Why we can trust the resurrection actually happened. How the resurrection was for the glory of God. What the resurrection accomplished for humanity.

In this sermon Pastor Andrew talks about the cross of Christ for the glory of God and for our good.

In this age we see Paul run into a group of disciples of John the Baptist. They had never heard of the Holy Spirit or Jesus' baptism. They receive the gospel, go through the waters of baptism and receive the Holy Spirit. What does this age teach us about water baptism and the baptism of the Holy Spirit?

In this age we are introduced to Apollos, a ionate gifted teacher. As Apollos begins to teach in the synagogue, Aquila and Priscilla take him aside and teach him the way of God more accurately. As we think about our lives we will see that theological accuracy is massively important because it affects our worship, our witness and our perseverance.

In this age we see Paul arrive in the city of Corinth. Paul was facing discouragement and fear in this new city. The Lord helped him through by providing good friends and reminding Paul of his providence.

In this age we see Paul in Athens. As he preaches in the marketplace he draws the attention of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers. As followers of Jesus we should be eager to learn what other people so we can preach the gospel to them in confidence.

In this age we see Paul preach the gospel in Thessalonica and Berea. In one city, the gospel provokes jealousy and turmoil and in the other city the gospel provokes eager searching and acceptance. How can 1 gospel produce such different responses?

In this age we see Paul and Silas cast out a demon from a slave girl, get beaten and thrown into prison, and God miraculously save them through an earthquake. In all these events, Paul remains focused on the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In this age we see Paul and Silas begin their missionary journey. God clearly guides and directs them through his Holy Spirit. It begs the question: How involved is God in our daily lives? Does he guide and lead us as we make daily decisions?

In this age we see a sharp disagreement arise between Paul and Barnabas where they can no longer work together as missionaries. What happens when conflict arises where both sides are technically right? How do we learn to let things go?

In Acts 15 we read about the Jerusalem Council, a pivotal moment in the life of the early church. Some men in the early church were telling Gentile believers they had to follow the Law to be saved. At the council, Peter, Paul, Barnabas and James defend the gospel of grace. What can we learn from this age about the right hills to die on?

In this sermon, Pastor Don walks us through the second half of Acts 14. In it we see Paul and Barnabas returning to all the cities they had traveled to, to encourage and strengthen the new disciples.

In this age we see Paul and Barnabas travelling to 2 different cities: Iconium and Lystra. In Lystra, the crowds witness a miracle and attempt to worship Paul and Barnabas as gods. Paul preaches a gospel message in response.

In this age we see the Apostle Paul preaching a sermon in the city of Antioch. His strategy is to repeat the message of the gospel, invite people to respond, and leave the results to God. What can we learn about the gospel and evangelism from this age?
